Jacqueline
Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

I love your bright green table. I agree with you about the cabbage plates. I have always admired them on other tables. Your napkin is so fun. That is a nice tutorial. It is always corned beef and cabbage for us also. I remember mom always said that the Irish was on her side. Joni
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, I'm a fan of cabbage plates too. I love the texture they offer. No Irish here either, but I love celebrating St. Pat's Day. It's the teacher in me.....I can't let a holiday pass without a celebration.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial. Pretty napkin fold. The little cabbage cakes are adorable. Look forward to seeing how they are created.
Jacqueline, I am sure you know how much I love this table...it's got lots of green! That silk cabbage is fabulous. I can't wait to see how you do the cabbage cake. Cute napkin fold.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the week.
I'm half Irish, Jackie, but I usually don't decorate much. I do amke corned beef and cabbage and Irish Soda Bread, however, as my family loves it!
ReplyDeleteI love how you folded your napkins and I'm pinning that to my "Napkin Folds" board on Pinterest!
I just blogged about winning your Teacup cake molds give away--thanks again! I love them!
Lovin' the green Jacqueline! The napkin fold is very pretty:@)

ReplyDeleteThose napkins are so cute and it looks like they aren't too hard to make! Thank you for the tutorial! No Irish in me but it's always fun to pretend for the day! The little chocolate cagge looks so good- can't wait to see how you did it!
ReplyDeleteLove this table and many thanks for the tutorial! Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
ReplyDeleteNot a big fan of predominantly green tablescapes - at least not until now. This is very classy in a sort of casual way.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you love the scripted cabbage.
Thanks for the tutorial. I hadn't seen that fold before - and I love to fold my napkins in unusual ways.
I'm having a serious drop-dead-envy episode right now...
ReplyDeleteI must tell you that one of our finest arts are these cabbage leaf plates - they were invented and made by a Sculptor Rafael Bordallo Pinheiro as you surely know being an appreciator of the fine arts as you are. And you have ALLLLL those pieces.
And I love the cabbage with script fabric. St. Patrick's is a happy Saint around your creations. Luck of the Irish, I guess ahahahah
Happy St. Patrick's, Dear Jacqueline!
Many blessings be bestowed upon you and your amazing family!
Have Fun!

This is such a cute table arrangement for a St. Patricks dinner!
ReplyDeleteI love this Jacqueline! I've seen and done the rose out of a napkin but not with the leaves, thanks for sharing the tutorial.

Jacqueline, I don't have a drop of Irish blood as far as I can tell, but that doesn't stop me from loving all the green. Your napkin fold is so unique and the chocolate cabbages are amazing! I have BP cabbage plates but not with the wonderful curved edges like yours. I love them! Linda
ReplyDeleteJacqueline,
ReplyDeleteExquisite!!!
I adore the timeless classic of green and white and this Bordallo Pinheiro collection is entirely top notch!!!
Love the rose napkin tutorial!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
Fondly,
Pat
You may remember I'm crazy for napkin folds and this is one I don't know. I'm pinning this so I can give it a try. As always, you've nailed the theme is both a fun and elegant way.
ReplyDeleteHello Jacqueline,
ReplyDeleteLove your table setting and all the layering. The goblets are great. Thank you for the napkin folding tutorial! Happy St. Pat's day to you!
That napkin fold is so cute and looks perfect on your plates! Love this table...
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful, those napkins are gorgeous! Yes, I want to know how to do those little cabbage cakes. I remember years ago Monique made a baby shower cake like that! Thanks so much for joining in the Crawl. It is like a reunion with blogging friends I haven't seen. I haven't been blogging much, miss all of you!
ReplyDeleteI love your table. Everything looks so crisp and fresh in green and white. Thank you for the instructions on the napkin fold. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
